I'm pretty sure the contemporary word we use for "female impersonators" is trans.

If an org does WBI's then it's a good indication that they are not choosing the best applicants. Instead of either getting good at them or trying to get the industry to change, we …

Twitter started out as Odeo, we started with Ev's investment in Noah Glass's idea for a podcasting platform in 2004. After a few months in early 2005 Ev joined full time. Biz and J…

Yeah, huge amounts of work from prototype to world changing platform happened after i left. Nobody created twitter, rather it was the collective work of many.

I know a lot of the early history, I worked there when we hired both Jack and Biz. I can tell you that it's a really good thing that Biz is back on board. Biz was able to articulat…

So i think it's partially values and markets. Enough US companies know the transformational effect tech can have on a business where that's not really understood elsewhere. Just ha…

one in a billion... he's the most ethical hacker and political actor i've encountered...

They only use it for fixed line systems, not cell phones or microwave. Those are the ways people actually want to get connected in rural areas.

If you can get line of sight, microwave works well.

I've got a place in rural northern california and we don't get cell phone coverage, no where within a 20 miles, and of course there is no broadband. The forest service doesn't help…

I love Project FI, but nobody who tries to call me ever gets through. Not nobody, but really like %75 of the calls don't go through. The data and international roaming are wonderfu…

Does gigster have anything real at all? There are no gigs at all listed on their site... just a few full time jobs in SF, plus things for working on gigster itself. Seems like it m…

Not only is it cool to honor David Kelly, it's also probably more useful to have a speed limit like 17 vs 15. The thinking is that 15 feels generic where as 17 is specific.

It's really disappointing that they didn't even look at 500 startups, one of the few VC's who've done a genuinely good job at getting diversity of partners. http://500.co/team/

The question is will these folks ever get brought before law enforcement for such a brazen attempt to infiltrate networks?

I got to try this out at XOXO and it worked remakrably well. Really enjoyable to use and i didn't get motion sick.

Seems cool, but it's missing a lot of listings. Compare the city's listing of permits at protlandmaps.com and buildzoom and you see lots of missing ones from BZ. It does have a nic…

Because Ev's a great product guy but not such a great manager. Speaking of which, Jack's also better at coding / product than managing himself. (i worked at the company before both…

This won't work in the US. The problem is the way government contracting works. Government Digital Service in the UK has managed to reform things there because they demanded and go…

I've got more than 10 years of rails experience. I started with Rails 0.5 in July 2004. So looking at the calendar we're at 10.5 years. There were only like 5 people including DHH …

Ezra was a playful hacker who was never afraid to strike out and build something crazy.

Mujica's great. I've lived on and off in Uruguay for a decade and really things are going pretty well. There's laptops for all kids, free internet for everybody, no taxes on tech c…

When we built twitter we had also hacked up various forms of RSS readers. At the time nobody on the team really thought they were going after rss, news reading, or discovery. But i…

I was just going to say the same thing. What the hell kind of group offers security and VPN services and then sends passwords plaintext!
